Dimensions
As a reference, the aquarium constellation has dimensions of approximately 11x9 cm. The thickness is 2.5 mm. However, all parts can be enlarged or rescaled with a scale in the XY or XYZ plane in your slicer.
How to print the pieces
It is recommended to print a light base of white filament first and only print the last layers with the glow in the dark filament. Depending on the chosen layer, it is possible to print with the glow in the dark filament only the stars or also the connections and designs of the constellations. We recommend placing them on a dark surface to create contrast with the printed pieces.
The pieces shown in the photos were printed with 4 layers with white PLA as reflective base and the following up to layer 17 with transparent PLA glow in the dark. Layer height of 0,2 mm.
The first white layers reflect the light from the glow filament in front, conceal the background to which they are glued and give the pieces sturdiness without using too much glow-in-the-dark filament. Even just 2-3 layers of 0.2 mm glow in the dark gives a very good effect.
It can be a good alternative to print the first layers white and only the stars yellow.
The constellations can be enlarged through the settings of your 3D slicer to obtain larger or smaller sizes or different scales.
Notice
The designs and connections of the stars in the constellations are not standard and may vary from star chart to star chart.
Prolonged use of the glow-in-the-dark filament may erode the extruder due to its abrasiveness. Inform yourself and equip yourself with the right equipment, extruder etc. suitable for the filament.
